Encrypted Transmission of Cass Ducar

Reward from Mission Chaos Reigns

Recording

Transcript

Cass Ducar: Weston Marx? Helllooo, are you out there?

Weston Marx: This is the voice of the new frontier. With whom am I speaking? This is an encrypted frequency.

Cass Ducar: Shtako, I could’ve cracked that encryption when I was six… and ten beers deep. Listen, I have some info… you want it or not?

Weston Marx: I’m listening.

Cass Ducar: It’s gonna cost you some scrip.

Weston Marx: Integrity doesn’t allow me to pay for stories. my dear.

Cass Ducar: That’s too bad.

This is Cass Ducar signing off from Paradise, site of the strata crash, with jekkin’ E-Reps splattered all over the place. Back to you, Weston.

Weston Marx: One moment! My integrity just stepped out for a smoke. Maybe we can discuss an arrangement.

Cass Ducar: I hope you have deep pockets, dude. This shtako’s big. I also have the scoop on a visitor to the area, a certain Karl Von Bach.

Weston Marx: Von Bach? Stratocarrier crash? I like the tune you’re humming.

Can you secure this frequency so we can schedule a meeting? Really secure it?

Cass Ducar: Does a Castithan need a sun tan?

Crash Response

Emergency Transmission of Ambassador Ara Shondu

Reward from Mission We're on the Air

Recording

Transcript

Captain Noah Grant: You’ve got ten seconds. I got a full scale crisis going on here.

Ara Shondu: Captain Grant, this is Ara Shondu, VC Ambassador to Paradise.

Captain Noah Grant: Lady, I don’t have time for any bleeding heart politics right now.

Ara Shondu: Lady? You will address me as Madam Ambassador. I want to be briefed on the crash. The Earth Republic should have contacted me before even moving a stratocarrier into our air space.

Captain Noah Grant: Madam Ambassador. The last time I checked, Paradise was located on Earth. Therefore, it’s E-Rep jurisdiction.

Ara Shondu: With due respect, it is my responsibility to maintain peace and order here. That will be a difficult task with a platoon of gun toting soldiers running around.

And I hear Karl Von Bach was aboard that carrier? A man called Death’s Merchant has no business within our peaceful borders.

Captain Noah Grant: I can’t confirm or deny… anything really. I will tell you this. I have my orders and they didn’t come from you. Sorry Ambassador, this communication ends here.

Reward from Mission All Roads Lead to Bloodbath

Recording

Transcript

E-Rep Sergeant: Sir, we’ve tailed the ark hunters to the edge of Bloodbath Gorge.

Captain Noah Grant: Sweet Jesus, they’re crazy. Hold your position until further orders.

E-Rep Sergeant: Sir? It’s easy enough to proceed. They have no idea we’re in the rearview.

Captain Noah Grant: Do not move, Sergeant! I’m going to explain something to you that your mother will thank me for later. Bloodbath Gorge used to be known as Tranquility, and it’s now known as bad news.

There are mutants wandering around down there that would just love to rip your face off and feed it to your neck.

E-Rep Sergeant: Yes, sir. I apologize, sir.

Captain Noah Grant: If those ark hunters want to journey in there, we’ll take the one in a million odds that they can find Von Bach alive. I lost enough men on the New Freedom. I can’t afford to take any more risks.

Let them do the work for you. If they don’t get turned to McCawley’s dog chow, it’ll be your turn. Copy?

E-Rep Sergeant: Copy. Over and out.

Von Bach and the E-Rep

Frontier Truth Broadcast 2046

Reward from Mission Into the Depths

Recording

Transcript

Weston Marx: Greetings and slow mutations, new-Earth listeners. This is the voice of the Frontier Truth, Weston Marx.

Karl Von Bach dead? No! Karl Von Bach alive! There will be no mass for the man known to the world as Death’s Merchant.

Now, there is no doubt that Von Bach and the E-Rep are a marriage bonded in Hell. That part makes perfect sense.

But what was the New Freedom doing in Paradise? What is Von Bach doing in Paradise? We know Ara Shondu doesn’t sit on Uncle E-Rep’s lap.

So why is the controlling octopus stretching its slimy tentacles this far west? I know what you’re thinking, “Weston, you smell conspiracy every time a pow plops.” This time the odor is noxious.

Ironically, the crash of the New Freedom could spell the collapse of all freed om in the Bay Area. It’s on you, my listeners. Let’s get to the bottom of this before they’re on top of us.

This is Weston Marx, signing off and reminding you all, be good to each other. Stay safe, never stop questioning. Defiance, and all that.
